In Memoriam
Janet Artac
Janet K. Artac, 76, passed away
on Aug. 12, surrounded by her loving
family.
Artac was born in Waukegan
on March 8, 1940, to Adolph and
Helen (nee Kenar) Turnovec. She
was educated in the schools of
Waukegan and graduated from
Waukegan East in 1957. She then
attended Miller’s School of Beauty
and graduated as a hair beautician in
1958. Artac worked in Libertyville,
Lake Bluff and Lake Forest beauty
shops. When she was 14 years old
she met her sweetheart David and
they went together until they married
on Sept. 23, 1961, at St. Joseph
Church in Waukegan. She and her
husband had three sons, Todd, Jay
(died in 2009) and Jeff and lived in
Waukegan for 28 years before moving
to Winthrop Harbor, Ill. After
her sons graduated from school she
began working in Lake Forest for
estates of the wealthy for 30 years
and retired in 2014. She loved her
wooded backyard and wildlife of
all kinds; including deer, raccoons,
and rabbits, she also loved feeding
the birds, squirrels, and chipmunks
in her flowered yard. Artac especially
loved her many cats, including
her current companion Jack as
well as her lovable dog Toto who
she walked every morning while
she fed the wildlife in her backyard.
She had the most lovable times with
her granddaughters Sofia and Julia,
cooking and reading, taking them
shopping and to parks because Jan
put more importance on her family
than her working career. She is survived
by her husband David; sons
Todd (Kim) of Carol Beach, Wis.,
and Jeff; former daughter-in-law
Anne Iacubino of Lake Bluff; grand
daughters Sofia and Julia; her sister
Elaine (Oscar) Dahl of Northbrook
and many nieces and nephews. She
would have wonderful parties and
light up the room with her smile and
laughter and she was dearly loved
by her family and friends. She will
be missed very very much by all
who knew her and loved her.
George Caldwell
George B. Caldwell, a resident
of Lake Forest for 55 years, passed
away peacefully in his sleep on

to his wife, Phoebe, and a devoted
father to his four children, Carrie
(Orest) Kramarczuk, G. James
(Sarah) Caldwell, Amy J. Caldwell
and David M. (Dawn) Caldwell.
Caldwell was devoted to his 12
grandchildren and planned many
special vacations that were specifically
for them. Throughout
his life he enjoyed and supported
the YMCA Camp du Nord in Ely,
Minn. He was a graduate of Cornell
College in Iowa and later served on
the college board. He completed
his graduate work in Hospital Administration
at the University of
Iowa. After a residency at Rockford
Hospital in Rockford he served for
12 years as president of Lake Forest
Hospital. His last position was
president and CEO of Lutheran
General Healthcare System, now
part of Advocate Health. He finished
his professional career consulting
in the health care field. A
memorial service will be held at 11
a.m. on Oct. 7 at First Presbyterian
Church of Lake Forest, 700 North
Sheridan Road. In lieu of flowers,
direct memorials to YMCA Camp
du Nord, 30 South Ninth Street,
Minneapolis, Minn.
